In July, peaches are nurtured, and peaches are born in August.
On August 28th, walking into the yellow peach orchard of the small farmer professional planting cooperative in Yingkou Village, Chang'an Town, Bin County, the heavy yellow peaches hung on the branches, and the round and full fruits bent the branches, and walked to the peach tree, and the peach fragrance was fragrant. "We have made sufficient preparations, and we will open the park at the beginning of next month, and invite visitors from all over the world to come into the park to pick and taste how delicious the fresh peaches we grow are." The members of the cooperative happily told reporters that the joy of the harvest hung on everyone's face.
Test the water yellow peach to harvest the "rich fruit"
How did the yellow peach become the "fruit of getting rich" for the villagers in Yingkou Village? It all started in 2019. In 2019, Zhao Tongjun, chairman of the Small Farmers Professional Planting Cooperative, went to Changchun to inspect the project. When he saw that the yellow peach with large fruit, golden color, sweet and crisp taste and rich aroma was popular with consumers, he came up with the idea of introducing yellow peaches into Bin County for planting.
Last year, the "small farmer" "tested the waters" for the first time to introduce a high-quality yellow peach variety from Changchun - Golden Honey No. 1. "At that time, only a shed was planted, the peaches were just ripe, and the WeChat circle of friends of the members attracted a group of pickers, and in less than 3 days, a shed of peaches was picked." Zhao Tongjun said that some members of the society planted peaches by hand, but they did not fish and taste them.
This year, the "small farmer" yellow peach cultivation was expanded to 3 sheds. Thanks to the mastery of planting skills, this year's yellow peach growth is particularly good. "We planted more yellow peach juice, bigger, eat sweeter, this year 1 pound of peach can sell at least 30 yuan." Zhao Tongjun calculated that 3 sheds of yellow peaches could make the "small farmer" earn more than 100,000 yuan.
Two transformations, see a new "money" scene
Walk into the planting base of the small farmer professional planting cooperative, not only the fragrant and mouth-watering yellow peaches, but also the planting base, apples, sugar cane, grapes, melons, watermelons, raspberries, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, red mushroom girls, Dutch cucumbers... The variety of special fruits and vegetables is dazzling.
Ma Lihua, a member of the cooperative who has been planting cucumbers for 3 years, truly feels the considerable benefits of special planting. Ma Lihua said: "The planting efficiency of cucumbers is very good, and one mu of land can be left with 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, which is quadrupled compared with the benefits of traditional crops." ”
Behind the increase in land efficiency and the increase in farmers' income is the arduous transformation of cooperatives. The SmallHolders Professional Farming Cooperative was founded in 2014 as a professional agricultural cooperative focusing on growing vegetables. The vegetable cultivation operated by the "small farmer" was very smooth when it first started, the quality and yield of vegetables were relatively good, and the income was good. But soon, the members found that the competition in the vegetable industry was too fierce, and it was greatly affected by the fluctuations of the market environment. As a result, the "small farmers" converted some greenhouses to strawberries, sugar cane, melons, ginger and other green and organic cash crops. This transformation from "single" to "many" has greatly enhanced their market supply and adaptability, and their returns have also been greatly improved.
When trying to grow green, organic crops in multiple varieties, they also "incidentally" experimented with fruit tree planting, but they did not expect great success. In the year of the 2016 test, the fruit trees in the greenhouse blossomed. After the success of the experiment, they decided to open a number of greenhouses, concentrate on planting fruit trees, build a modern leisure agriculture demonstration park open to tourists, and develop sightseeing agriculture. The leisure agricultural park covers an area of 150 acres, and has built 41 vegetable greenhouses and 2 greenhouses, and planted fruits and vegetables in the shed. Among them, more than 3,000 peach trees and apple trees planted in 10 greenhouses all adopt bonsai cultivation methods, which can sell seedlings in bonsai mode, and can also pick or sell fruits in the form of market sales.
From "planting" to "rewarding", the business idea of "small farmer" has opened up again. As the cultivation area of yellow peaches grows larger and more successful. Next year, they will also hold a peach blossom festival, and they plan to invite tourists to enjoy the peach blossoms. With festivals to drive sightseeing, sightseeing passenger flow to drive the sales of special products, the new model allows "small farmers" to see a new "money" scene.
"Farmer" touches the net, pursues "big dream"
The footsteps of the "little farmer" did not stop. Last year, the cooperative set up its own e-commerce department, directly on the Internet to sell agricultural products, operating for half a year, on the Internet to sell more than 2,000 pounds of autumn fungus, plus fruits and vegetables, walnuts, honey and other agricultural products, sales of nearly 500,000 yuan.
Zhao Tongjun told reporters that in the next step, they will also register their own "small farmer" brand, create characteristic products, and promote and sell online and offline. It is also necessary to invite agricultural experts and marketers to professionally "sort out" the various products operated by cooperatives, so that there are "specializations" in "miscellaneous". "Planting a kind of seed, selling and selling a tunnel, running a festival must be lively and lively, but also have money to make," Zhao Tongjun said, "in the end, you still have to attract your things." Zhao Tongjun said.
Little by little, the "little farmer" is achieving the "small goal",
Lead the villagers to transform the planting structure,
The "big dream" of pursuing a happy life
It is also becoming a reality step by step.
